The firsthand account of Captain Brady, a US Naval aviator who participated in some of the world's most significant events from the twentieth century, including the Great Depression, Pearl Harbour, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Korean War.
The rise of Adolf Hitler, America’s Great Depression in the heartland, the bombing of Pearl Harbour, American life following World War II, the Korean War, America’s development of atomic weapons in the Cold War age, the Bay of Pigs Invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, and the Mariel boatlift. Captain Allen Brady not only witnessed all of these events but actually participated in them, in many instances as a US Naval Aviator. So many Americans and global citizens alike are not even aware of the importance of these pivotal moments; as generations age and pass on, without important accounts like this one, much is forgotten. More than just a memoir, Brady’s book is an important document from one of the last of his generation, reminding us of the pivotal moments that should not be lost to history.
